Kennedale is a city in Tarrant County, Texas, United States. The population was 6,763 at the 2010 census.
Most leases expect the tenant to do repairs. My suggestion would be to have an insurance policy that covers most repairs on a house and the cost of the policy is like $43 a month and $60 for someone to do the repairs. They cover the A/C, heat, plumbing, electrical.
The repair and deduct remedy allows a tenant to deduct money from the rent, up to the amount of one month's rent, to pay for repair of defects in the rental unit. This remedy covers substandard conditions that affect the tenant's health and safety, and that substantially breach the implied warranty of habitability.
